How do hyaluronic acid fillers work?

What is hyaluronic acid?

Hyaluronic acid, also known as hyaluronan or HA, is a molecule that occurs naturally in our bodies. It not only renews skin tissue, but also supports healthy cartilage and joint function. Unfortunately, with age and exposure to sun and pollution, HA levels in the body decrease significantly. However, it is possible to artificially synthesise this miraculous little molecule, which is now being leveraged by the aesthetic industry to enhance facial volume and reverse the signs of ageing.

How are the fillers administered?

Different methods and filler types may be used, depending on the area that requires treatment and the results you are hoping to obtain. A thicker (more viscous) filler is usually most effective in adding or restoring volume, while a thinner (more fluid) filler is generally more suitable for correcting fine lines and wrinkles. The filler is injected into the superficial, middle or deep dermis, most commonly using the point or multi-puncture technique, which involves administering several small injections close to one another instead of injecting all of the product at once.

Why opt for hyaluronic acid fillers?

Hyaluronic acid fillers first made a splash on the cosmetic scene in the early 2000s. Since then, they’ve earned a reputation for being effective and reliable and have enjoyed wide acclaim. Whether used to delay the signs of ageing or to enhance a specific area of the face, their benefits are numerous:

Immediate improvement: You will already see results by the end of the treatment session.
Minimal side effects: Slight swelling, redness or bruising may appear but should subside within 24 hours. Many patients experience no side effects whatsoever.
No socio-professional downtime: If at all visible, puncture marks at the injection site can be easily concealed with make-up and will resolve quickly, so you will be able to resume regular activities on the very same day as your treatment.
Safe: Clinic Lémanic uses fillers that are fully absorbable and safe, and its expert doctors are highly specialised in aesthetic

Different treatment stages

Consultation

Procedure

Consultation

Before any fillers are administered, a preliminary consultation will be held with the aesthetic specialist. This consultation will provide you with the opportunity to discuss the treatment and the expected outcome and to determine, together with the specialist, the number of sessions required so that an accurate quote can be drawn up.

Procedure

On the day of your session, you will need to arrive 30 minutes before the scheduled appointment to allow time for the application of a topical anaesthetic (numbing) cream. The treatment area will also be cooled throughout the session in order to help prevent discomfort and make your experience as pleasant as possible. These measures, especially when combined with the use of specific syringes and cannulas, make the injections virtually pain-free.

The specialist may gently massage your face to ensure that the filler is evenly distributed. Once the treatment is complete, you will immediately notice an improvement in your appearance. You will be left looking relaxed and rejuvenated.

A session typically lasts between 30 and 45 minutes, depending on the size of the area to be treated and the amount of filler to be injected. A second session may be needed to achieve the desired results. Should this be the case, the wait time between sessions will be decided with the specialist.

What results to expect after the injections?

How soon can you expect to see results?

The first results are virtually instantaneous, and you will already be able to notice them while you’re still at the clinic. Facial volume will be restored and the firming effect of the fillers will bring about visible rejuvenation, all without looking unnatural or overdone.

We recommend that you avoid any excessive or strenuous activity for 24 hours and that you resume sport the next day.

In the 5 days following your treatment, the results will continue to improve as any potential bruising or swelling subsides and the injected hyalutonic acid molecules progressively increase volume. You’ll then be free to fully enjoy the compliments on your beautifully relaxed and rejuvenated appearance.

How long do the results last?

Hyaluronic acid fillers are absorbable and, depending on the area being targeted and on the product and technique used, last an average of 8 months to 2 years. However, this may vary due to factors such as age, skin type, lifestyle and genetics. The skill and expertise of the practitioner and the type of filler selected are also key to the treatment’s success.

Your choice of aesthetic specialist plays an essential part in ensuring a completely satisfactory experience. Two criteria require particular attention when making that choice, namely:

The quality of the products used: While tempting, an attractive offer may disguise the fact that an inferior product is being used or that a smaller quantity of product is being injected. In both of these cases, additional sessions will be required, making the treatment process more expensive in the long run.
The practitioner’s experience: A doctor who does not specialise in aesthetic medicine will most likely lack the skills and experience necessary to safely treat patients. In contrast, the skill of an experienced doctor guarantees results that will bring the compliments flooding in!

When should you consider hyaluronic acid fillers?

If you are looking to give yourself a youthful makeover that is safe, quick and will rejuvenate the skin and banish wrinkles, hyaluronic acid fillers are the option of choice.

They are most commonly used to:

Restore volume (cheekbones, under-eye circles, chin)
Fill in superficial and deep facial wrinkles (nasolabial folds, marionette/sad mouth lines, crow’s feet)
Smooth out the neck and décolleté, especially with hydrating Skin Boosters
Increase lip volume (enhancing lip contour and definition or fuller, plumper lips)
Improve the appearance of scars on the face and body, including acne and chickenpox scars
Treat hollow dark circles.

Hyaluronic acid fillers are suitable for both men and women. They are typically first used by patients from the ages of 30 to 35 but can be considered earlier to correct a perceived imperfection. If you have always dreamed of having high, full cheekbones, adding volume and definition to your lips by making them smoother and plumper, rebalancing the symmetry of your face, reshaping a receding chin or subtly correcting the shape of your nose, hyaluronic acid fillers are safe and quick, making them an ideal appearance-enhancing solution.
